AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "petitioner" under the Firearms Restraining Order Act to include intimate partners (not just family members and law enforcement officers).

  • Requires courts to immediately issue search warrants directing law enforcement to seize firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts when issuing ex parte, interim, or final domestic violence protection orders if probable cause exists that the respondent possesses such items and poses an immediate danger to the petitioner or child.

  • Mandates that respondents subject to domestic violence protection orders surrender firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts to law enforcement for safekeeping during the order's duration, with exceptions for peace officers whose duty weapons are held by their employing agency.

  • Establishes that law enforcement must execute seizure warrants within 96 hours and file returns within 24 hours, with service of the protection order coordinated with warrant execution when possible.

  • Applies the same firearm prohibition and seizure provisions to domestic violence orders issued under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, ensuring consistent protection across all domestic violence order types.
